“For over 150 years the idea that Mark used the Pauline epistles has been recurring in New Testament research. Now in the work of Tom Dykstra, wide-ranging work and thoughtful, the truth of that idea emerges with a clarity it never had before. The result is to give a fresh sense of the origin and nature of Mark, of all the New Testament books, and of the quest for history.”
– -Thomas Brodie, Director, Dominican Biblical Institute, author of ¬ The Birthing of the New Testament

“Tom Dykstra draws connections between Paul and the Gospel of Mark that are stunning, surprising, and original, and leave readers with a sense that the evidence deserves a better interpretation than traditional Synoptic models can o ffer. Well argued, easy to read, immersed in the relevant current exegetical discussion, the book fascinates, provokes, and encourages to think outside the box.”
– David Trobisch, author of The First Edition of the New Testament

“In addition to its main focus on Mark, this book is a lucid introduction to early church history, oral tradition, the gospels’ genre, and how to understand scripture in general.”
– Paul Nadim Tarazi, Professor of Biblical Studies, St. Vladimir’s Seminary

Critically important work of biblical scholarship

Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2018

Verified Purchase

This is one of the most overlooked and underappreciated works of biblical scholarship. In the future this book will be looked back on as a seminal work that defines the next generation of New Testament scholarship. I do not agree with every conclusion reached in this book, as some of my research augments it and finds other explanations, but it is all in-line with my findings as well. This, with great credibility and academic support, fundamentally disproves the current foundation of mainstream biblical scholarship and really requires rebuttal. For anyone seeking to understand the Gospels and the current state of biblical scholarship, this is an essential book, and its well written and easy to read for such an academic work.

Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2016

I'm not a scholar, but I've been reading about the origins and composition of the NT and the search for the historical Jesus for some time. This work was completely engrossing and well argued. It makes you read Mark with fresh eyes.

Interestingly, the conclusion asserts--by way of an OT parable--that this view (that the author of Mark created the text from OT and Homeric influences and specifically from Paul's letter to the Galatians) need not be incompatible with faith. It also would not be incompatible with the current trend toward mythicism.

Unconvinced

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 5, 2016

Verified Purchase

I came to this book a little sceptical of but also sympathetic to the possibility that Mark's Gospel was a presentation of Pauline Christianity in narrative form. I am afraid to say that the argument is of the sort that is so weak and unconvincing that it rather tends to strengthen the opposite of the case it tries to make! Despite the author's efforts, there just wasn't evidence anywhere near strong enough to convince me of a definite links between GMark and Paul's particular brand of the faith. GMark is indeed heavily opposed to Peter and the Jerusalem apostles, but other than that there is very little that even approaches distinctive borrowings from Paul. There is nothing in GMark to compare with the anti-Torah venom of, say, Galatians, which I see as distinctive of the real Paul (whose writings I think are heavily edited and interpolated to obscure exactly this aspect of his radicalism). I was excited to read the author's evidence, but the book only made me feel all the more that GMark's origins remain a mystery: anti-Petrine and yet not Pauline either.

Brilliantly sensible

Reviewed in France on August 21, 2015

Tom Dykstra has done a marvelous job with a topic that has been hanging fire for a very long time and desperately needed this treatment. The fact is, when you read early Christian writings in chronological order, along with whatever literature is available from the Greco/Roman environment, it is glaringly obvious who influenced who and what and how. What that means is that it is clear that the writings of Paul and other literature were drawn on by the author of Mark to create a tale to back up Paul's cosmic Christ. And Paul, of course, got his Christ from combining Judean rebel/martyrs combined with Greco-Roman gods and mysteries.

All of this should be obvious to the dedicated researcher who is able to go where the text leads him; but so few biblical scholars have that capability because they have a serious investment in somehow, anyhow, retaining Jesus as a singular historical figure. He never was and Dykstra's analysis makes that perfectly clear.

The book is fully footnoted with many references to great studies by such as Michael Goulder, Tom Brodie, Dennis MacDonald, and so many more who have joined the truth brigade in the past ten years. I'm just SO thankful for this book! Now I know that I'm not nuts seeing what I have seen in these texts for years... and the Truth SHALL set you free!
